Were you thinking about having your bridesmaids wear printed dresses? Before you have them buy your favorite patterned dress, think about your photographs.

Sure, a printed dress looks great on a hanger, but next to five other girls with accessories and bouquets, things could start getting cluttered and take the attention off of yourself and the groom. Check out these pictures for a better idea:

Instead, try pairing your solid color dresses with fun colored heels or other accessories. Your bridesmaid’s will still look beautiful, and your pictures will focus right where you want them to, on you!

Tell me what you think!

Wedding Table Decoration Idea


Wedding table decorations can be the highlight of your wedding theme, or can be a complementary alternative.

Here are some ideas to help you plan your wedding table decoration ideas:

1. For dimmer venues, use tealight candles in little glass boxes, to be placed along side each table setting.

2. Large clear glass bowls filled with sand and floating candles make a great centerpiece. 3. Sprinkle rose petals on tables for a romantic touch.

If you are having an informal wedding, simple white porcelain plates with gold or silver edges are good.

4. Simple and plain dining ware deserves a more extravagant centerpiece.

5. Wrap chairs with organza ribbons in dark shades of ivory or gold, and use table napkins of the same color. Tie alternating styles of flowers on each chair for some variety, and use simple matte gold plates. For the centerpiece, use a lilac and ivory combination for flowers and candles.

6. For something different, use a square table, and square plates. Choose one color and work around lighter shades of it for the table settings. For example, ice blue table cloths to go to with ice blue ribbons around the chairs. Table napkins come in a shade or two lighter, and leave the plates white for some contrast.

7. Instead of using just one vase with flowers, mix them up by placing more of smaller vases with colorful flowers as a centerpiece.

8. For a minimal look, use clear glass plates with white and silver accents. For the centerpiece, a large clear glass vase with long stems of flower buds in it, instead of a bunch of leaves and open flowers. Use brown place mats with white plates, and use deep red cloth to drape the chairs and tables. Deep blue accents can be placed in the table napkins and colors of the flowers.

9. Depending on the color of your theme, fill the centerpiece bowl with fruits matching the theme to give a variety in texture.

10. Use raspberry and gold for a refreshing table theme. Place the flowers on the perimeter of another centerpiece of short red candles. Use matte gold plates and blush pink table napkins and chair drapers.

Wedding Reception Table Decorations

There are lots of ways to decorate your wedding reception tables with flowers, favors, candles, plants, fabric and place card holders. Floral arrangements are a very popular way to decorate the tables at your wedding reception. For an outdoor wedding, use flowers and greenery in pots to decorate the tables. Use candles alongside flower arrangements to give an evening reception a beautiful glow. Add candles for an elegant look.

Place flower pot pens in bunches at tables in lieu of flowers. Use fabric as a table runner. Use themed place card holders to display place cards. At a garden wedding, use Victorian-style tea light place card holders for an elegant table display.

For a spring wedding, use floral favors in the décor. These daisy votive holders and daisy candle favors offer a fresh spring feel to your wedding reception tables. For a summer wedding, add coconut candles to the tables for a tropical, luau theme. Mix the coconut candles with these palm tree candles to complete the luau look.

An autumn wedding calls for a warm palette of color. Use bright red and yellow table runners with these autumn leaf place card holders. Use these fall-colored boxes with brown or gold bows filled with Jordan almonds to decorate the guest book table. Arrange the place cards for the table around the tree. Create a winter wonderland scene on your wedding reception tables with these snowmen candles.

Were you thinking of using a family friend or new small local business to cater your wedding?





Think again!



Even though you may save money using one of these outlets, your reception will not have the same quality as it would if you had a professional wedding caterer. When hiring any vendor for your wedding, make sure they have wedding experience because it’s completely different from any other celebration.



The caterer needs to be able to adhere to the strict timeline and work quickly and efficiently so the guests are never wondering why it is taking so long to get a glass of water or their next course of the meal. It’s important to have the very best service on your special day!!



Here are some questions you should ask before hiring a caterer:



1. Have they ever catered a wedding before? (sounds like a stupid question, but you will be surprised…)



2. What is their price range? Are costs itemized depending on the foods you choose, or is there an all-inclusive flat rate? What would that include (linens, tax, gratuities, etc.)? Does the caterer have printed price sheets for food selections?



3. Will the caterer provide tables, chairs, plates, table linens, silverware, salt-and-pepper shakers, and more? Ask to see these items to make sure they're acceptable. Do you have to rent tables, place settings, and/or other equipment or will they arrange for the rentals?



4. Who is the main contact? Will the same person you work with when planning also oversee meal service on the day of the party? (You want this to be the case.) And what will their role me that day, will they be a server or supervisor!



5. Is the caterer working any other events or parties on the same weekend, on the same day, or at the same time as yours? (You want to be sure they will devote sufficient attention to you. You may want to pass on a smaller outfit who indicates they have another job or two scheduled for that day.)



6. Will the caterer provide wait staff? If so, what will they be wearing? Have those servers EVER served before?



7. Will the caterer be willing to include a recipe you provide, like a special family dish, or an appetizer with some sort of sentimental significance? Can they prepare vegetarian or kosher meals for some of your guests if needed?



8. Where will the food be prepared? Are there on-site facilities, or do you, the caterer, and the site manager need to make additional arrangements? If the caterer must bring in his or her own equipment, is there an additional fee?



9. Does the caterer have a license? (This means the business has met health department standards and has liability insurance -- make sure this includes a liquor license if you're having a bar.)



10. Can the caterer provide alcohol? Or can you handle the bar separately? If you can provide it, is there a corkage fee? How and when do you get the alcohol to the caterer?



I am not saying that a brand new caterer is not hire-able, but I want you to know what you are getting into, everyone has to start someone, and having a game plan is a great place to start!

Las VegasWedding Chapels


Other than a legal court and a church, wedding chapel is a place where couples get legally married.

Las Vegas is very famous for its large number of wedding chapels. Most of the old, traditional wedding chapels in Las Vegas are small in size. A wedding ceremony package offered at the wedding chapels normally includes the wedding chapel fee, basic wedding flowers, a video of the ceremony, photo packages, chapel time and a wedding coordinator. These days there are many packages offered by Las Vegas wedding chapels, such as special Elvis Presley weddings, limo weddings, etc. The costs to stage a wedding in a good wedding chapel vary. In Las Vegas, a simple yet memorable ceremony at a wedding chapel can be held for about 50 dollars.

Las VegasWedding Chapels for Memorable Weddings in Style

Gambling and wedding -- these are the two things for which Las Vegas is infamous. Las Vegas wedding chapels line the street, and celebrity or not, you can have a Las Vegas wedding with all the glitz and glamor -- you can even have Elvis stand in as a witness or officiate your wedding! Las Vegas has hundreds of Elvis impersonators. In fact, many Las Vegas wedding chapels have their own Elvis impersonators. Getting married in one of these Las Vegas wedding chapels is sure fodder for future grandkids.

There are Las Vegas wedding chapels that can host planned, elegant and sophisticated wedding ceremonies -- minus Elvis. While most of the weddings that happen in Las Vegas wedding chapels are couples who have eloped, there is a growing trend of couples getting married in Las Vegas wedding chapels who bring their wedding entourage with them -- the parents, maid of honor, best man, bridesmaids and groomsmen. Compared with the traditional wedding ceremony and reception that involve renting venues, hiring caterers, entertainers and wedding planners, having the wedding at any one of the Las Vegas wedding chapels is considerably cheaper. Aside from Las Vegas wedding chapels, a number of hotels can host wedding ceremonies and do have the facilities to host such.

Every wedding is special. If you are after a memorable wedding in style, consider having it in Las Vegas, either in one of the Las Vegas wedding chapels or one of the famous hotels.

This elegant bridal veil has a 3/8" wide ribbon edge that beautifully outlines the edge of the veil. This bridal veil is made with higher quality tulle that is softer and drapes beautifully. We attach our veils with metal combs (instead of plastic) because they fit more securely and comfortably to the head. White Matches white wedding gowns. Diamond White Diamond white is just barely off white. In fact, when looking at a diamond white veil alone it looks white only when put up against a white veil can you tell the diamond white is actually just off white. Diamond white goes best with "natural" or slightly off-white gowns. Ivory Ivory veils go best with "candlelight", "off-white", or "ivory" gowns. Tip Every gown manufacturer is different when it comes to their colors. Sometimes it is hard to exactly match ivory and off-white wedding gowns. If there is any color variation between the dress and your veil -- you always want the veil to be a shade lighter (versus a shade darker) than your dress.

Part 2: Breathtaking

Wedding dresses are considered to be one of the centerpiece items in a wedding ceremony. This is because a wedding dress on top of all makes a bride standout among the crowd due to its elegant and breathtaking design. Asides from this, wedding dresses also have a deeper meaning with regards to marriage as these have been symbolizing the bride ever since.

Country Wedding Dresses

The beauty of wedding dresses resides in how it is able to represent the bride in a unique manner during the wedding ceremony. It also adds up to the stunning factor that occurs when the bride is first seen walking down the isle. This is the reason why a wedding dress is highly prioritized in a wedding arrangement checklist.

Generally speaking, the modern world has been used to the white wedding dress which comes from the Western cultures of European countries. However, there are a lot of other cultures that have different variations of wedding dresses in areas like color, design and pattern. These traditional versions of a wedding dress are also as beautiful as the accustomed white bridal dress and at times more interesting since these are not really seen that often.

In the old Western cultures, marriages during and subsequent the medieval era meant more than just a union between a man and a woman. This was due to the fact that they could also be considered as a union between companies, families, businesses or even countries. A lot of weddings during this time were more of a matter of politics especially for the nobles and higher echelon of the society. This has greatly affected the way wedding dresses were made and worn depending on your social status. Usually, Brides coming from the wealthy families wore bridal gowns of exclusive fabrics and rich colors.

Through the years, brides from wealthy families dressed in a manner that reflected their social status, having the highest form of fashion available combined with the most expensive materials that money could buy. On the other hand, the poorest brides wore the best church clothes that they could find on their wedding day.

Nowadays, there are a lot of choices for wedding gowns since there are different price ranges. There has also been a variety of lengths and colors available since the Western traditions have loosened up. Women can now also have the option to either buy ready made gowns, have a dressmaker create one or wear a family heirloom. Also, the bridal salons today already present samples of the wedding gowns when you visit their store. Because of this you can already select a design that suits your tastes right then and there and just have it customized to fit your size.

For the Asian countries having Eastern culture such as Vietnam, China and India, the traditional bridal dresses are very much affected by the cultural beliefs of the people. The Ao dai which is the traditional bridal dress for Vietnamese women is a perfect example. It is usually in red color which signifies prosperity and good luck for the Vietnamese. The other mentioned countries also share the same line of thinking with regards to the color of their traditional bridal dresses.

However, more women today choose not to follow suit with the customs and traditions of their country or culture since people have a more liberated mindset as compared to before. Instead, they go for customized wedding gowns which will give them a unique appearance as well as represent their own personalities.
